OVERVIEW

Lincoln KP3424-2 HE Filter Assembly Overview

The Lincoln Electric KP3424-2 HE Filter Assembly is a critical maintenance component for the Lincoln Viking Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. Designed to meet rigorous industrial safety standards, this high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter is engineered to deliver superior filtration performance in demanding welding environments. Each pack contains two genuine replacement filters, ensuring that your safety equipment remains operational and effective. The filters are manufactured in the United States using automated assembly lines, a process that guarantees meticulous consistency and adherence to strict quality control measures.

Industrial safety managers and procurement specialists rely on the KP3424-2 for its proven ability to handle hazardous airborne particulates. The filter is NIOSH certified, validating its capability to remove 99.97% of airborne contaminants at 0.3 microns. This level of filtration is essential for facilities that must comply with OSHA regulations regarding air quality and worker safety. By utilizing genuine Lincoln Electric consumables, you ensure the longevity of the PAPR blower unit and maintain the manufacturer's warranty and performance specifications.

The assembly is designed for quick and secure installation into the Viking PAPR blower unit. A proper seal is vital for the positive pressure system to function correctly, preventing contaminated ambient air from bypassing the filtration media. These filters are specifically optimized to capture a wide range of metal fume particles without creating excessive drag on the blower motor, thereby preserving battery life during long shifts. The KP3424-2 is an indispensable stock item for any operation utilizing Lincoln's advanced respiratory protection systems.

Investing in high-quality filtration is not just a safety requirement but an operational necessity. Clogged or inferior filters can reduce airflow, trigger low-flow alarms, and interrupt production. The Lincoln KP3424-2 provides a reliable solution with a predictable service life, allowing for scheduled maintenance that minimizes downtime. Whether for heavy fabrication, structural steel work, or confined space welding, these filters provide the clean air necessary for peak operator performance.

FAQ

The KP3424-2 is a HEPA filter that removes 99.97% of airborne contaminants at 0.3 microns. This includes respirable dust and metal fume particles such as hexavalent chromium, manganese, iron, zinc oxide, aluminum, nickel, beryllium, cadmium, and lead.

This product (KP3424-2) is sold as a package containing two (2) HE Filter Assemblies.

No, the KP3424-2 is a disposable HEPA filter. It should not be washed, blown out with compressed air, or reused, as this can damage the filter media and compromise protection. It must be replaced when clogged.

This filter is designed specifically for the Lincoln Electric Viking PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) system.

Replacement frequency depends on the environment's particulate concentration. You should replace the filter when the PAPR unit triggers a low-airflow alarm or when you notice a significant reduction in airflow despite a fully charged battery.

Yes, the KP3424-2 is NIOSH certified, ensuring it meets strict federal standards for respiratory protection efficiency and reliability.

No, this is a particulate filter (HEPA) only. It is designed for solid particles and fumes. It does not provide protection against gases or vapors unless used in conjunction with specific gas cartridges if the unit supports them (check specific PAPR configuration).
